A swine flu-causing virus is similar to the
viruses found in pigs. 2009 was the first time, when swine flu rocked the

the winters. However, the risk lies in future. The reports of genetic change in

Acharya Sushruta, the father of surgery told
thousands of year ago that there are few diseases, which spread with touch, with
breathing, with sharing of garment, with sharing of bed, with sneezing and many
more ways. Accordingly many precautions were also described by him in his world
famous compilation the “Sushruta Samhita”.
His sayings may be thousands years old
but in case of Swine Flu or other contagious diseases, these are like the copy
write text book guidelines for the prevention methods. According to the flow of
time, new diseases appearing on every new days but basic fundamental approach
towards the prevention of contagious diseases are still same. So they are
Stay At Home
- It is better to stay at home, if you are feeling something abnormal like, feverish, headache, running nose, burning sensations etc. Important thing to remember that if you are staying in an area having infected people around you then you may be an easy victim. Because the people who are suffering from such disease actually turns to deadly carrier of these viruses even before they develops any symptoms.
- So not only for yourself but for the rest of the society, your family members, for the shake of nation please stay at home.
Wash Your Hand & Face Frequently
- These viruses survive only two hours out-side the human body. It is a technical point that everyone should remember. So whenever you go to the outside try to wash your hands and face frequently. Use fresh water or Germicidal hand sanitizers for this purpose. It will reduce the chances of getting swine flu. It is easiest and simple way to protect yourself from many more contagious diseases.
Use a Mask
- Swine flu spreads easily with the breathing air and thus it becomes more dangerous to contaminate more and more people. Using masks specially made for preventing N1H1 viruses are a major weapon to fight against swine flu. If you are sick then put the mask and play a major role in preventing the transmission or spread of this virus. The most important thing is that by doing this you can save thousands of life.
Avoid Heavily Crowed Public Transports
- Transport system is the backbone of the modern civilization but sometimes it became the most suitable media to spread the deadly diseases. Swine flu can spread through breathing air, touch, sneezing, body fluids, sharing seats and many more these sharing options make it more venerable. So always, try to avoid highly crowded trains, buses, market places, theaters, public gatherings etc. Remember that avoiding crowd reduces the chances of getting swine flu by a huge margin.
Eat lite and plenty of fluids
- However, it will not protect you from swine flu but it will help to survive difficulties. For an example if you are suffering from swine flu or any other seasonal flu then consume lite food. During such period, it is extremely necessary to take care of your gut. Most of the cases vomiting or diarrhea is a common issue so fluid consume should be educate for maintaining body electrolyte balance.
